There was some debate a few months back about fractalness in design, but I think this necklace, designed by Marc Newson, by Boucheron can't be argued, it's a Julia set in gold, diamonds and sapphires.

Boucheron is also famous as one of the over-the-top jewelers in with stores in the Place Vendome, Paris. Their "Question Mark" necklace in the form of a bird is a representitive sample
It springs from a more sedate design from the end of the 19th century.
This is their 150th anniversary year, and as such they've been doing some interesting collaborations with other luxery brands, including a unique watch with jewel wheels by Richard Mille. Some of the pieces.
